The 2006 Pencarrow Pinot Noir has a rustic nose of earth, red currants and cherry and is rather subdued. The palate is medium-bodied with furry tannins. Good depth and concentration with wild strawberry, cranberry and a touch of blueberry on a floral refined finish. I am certain that this will improve with more bottle age so give it a couple of years. Palliser Estate is one of Martinborough’s respected names, its first vines planted back in 1984. They presently have 85 hectares under vine with new Pinot Noir Dijon clones (115 and 667) beginning to add more complexity. The winemaker is Allan Johnson, who has overseen the winemaking since 1991 and was voted New Zealand Winemaker of the Year in 2002. Due to time restraints I was unable to visit the estate, so the following notes were all taken single blind in Martinborough and the quality in their superb Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Pinot Noir shone brightly.Importer, Negociants USA, Napa, CA; tel.
